I’d prefer the subscription option as well. With it, FR has a better chance of surviving, with the added benefit it will rid us of many of the trolls posting here.

Trolls have subscriptions, too.
Having subscriptions would make FR more vulnerable financially. I recall discovering that when my elderly neighbor hit hard times, he stopped his subscriptions and club dues because he never knew month to month whether he would have the funds, so he canceled them. He didn't want to cancel/resume/cancel etc. He actually began heating his little house by heating a metal cauldron on the stove (????).
